In most plants and animals, including humans, mitochondria are inherited exclusively, or nearly exclusively, from the mother.

A new study shows that plants can inherit mitochondria from their father, restoring fertility when maternal mitochondria are defective, challenging traditional views on mitochondrial inheritance.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology (MPI-MP) have now discovered how mitochondria can be inherited from the father in plants. Crucially, this paternal transmission ...
